The Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) was established to bring together scientists and physicians who share a common interest in developing and using state-of-the-art imaging technology and developing molecular imaging assays for studying intact biological systems. MIPS has a small animal imaging facility, a radiopharmaceutical facility, and clinical imaging equipment in the Department of Radiology including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography combined with CT (PET/CT), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Stanford University is committed to increasing representation of women and members of minority groups on its faculty and particularly encourages applications from such candidates. Stanford University offers a competitive salary and an excellent benefits package. Level of appointment and salary are negotiable and will be commensurate with experience.
We invite applications for the following positions:
Postdoctoral Position in Translational Molecular Imaging
An immediate postdoctoral position is open in translational molecular imaging. The successful applicant will develop non-invasive molecular and functional imaging approaches for early detection of cancer using targeted contrast-enhanced ultrasound (molecular ultrasound), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging and will be involved in translational studies moving molecular imaging into clinical trials in patients. The candidate must have a PhD, MD or equivalent with special skills in molecular or cell biology. Experiences in cell culture and assays, standard molecular biology techniques, and animal handling are preferred. Training in various molecular and functional imaging modalities will be provided. Salary will be based on Stanford University guidelines for postdoctoral fellows.

Scientific Program Manager
Job ID: 28584
Location: School of Medicine
Category: Salary 3P2
The Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) is searching for a Scientific Program Manager to help with management of its Early Cancer Detection Center. The potential candidate will work in collaboration with government agencies including National Institutes of Health (NIH), nonprofit organizations and other companies for improvement of the center. The major responsibility of this position will be to work with the Office of Medical Development to organize and optimize approaches to developing fundraising activities, assist, financial targets and tracking results, ensuring research resources, and preparing grant applications. The individual will advise Early Cancer Detection Center on potential funding resources. The candidate will assist, advise and guide in research methods, studies and experiments between the various wet-labs of the center. The acquaintance with the different labs will allow the successful candidate to facilitate cross collaboration amongst the different labs in imaging, proteomics, genomics, etc. This necessitates the requirement for experience with cell/molecular biology and ideally the use of imaging, proteomics, etc. in biological applications such as cancer research and clinical oncology. Translating scientific concepts into written proposals will be required. An adequate amount of time spent on manuscript preparation will also be required. Excellent communication skills are critical. The ability to interact with a diverse group of scientists and a proven track record in scientific management is highly desirable.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in cell/molecular biology, pharmacology, chemistry, or equivalent in a related field. Must have 2-3 years experience with some aspect of early cancer detection (imaging, proteomics, genomics, etc.). Preferably, the candidate will be familiar with molecular biology and have a background in biochemistry and/or cell/molecular biology. Exposure to molecular imaging also important but not necessary.
